Abstract

In this multidisciplinary study, we explore the transformative impact of machine learning (ML) technologies in financial research. Our objective is to understand how supervised and unsupervised learning methods can be applied to tasks such as fraud detection, asset price forecasting, financial risk assessment, and the development of early warning systems for systemic financial risk. We adopt a variety of algorithms—including Backpropagation Neural Networks, Bayesian Networks, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest, and XGBoost—and evaluate their ability to analyze and predict outcomes from complex financial data. Our methodology entails a comparative analysis of ML techniques against traditional statistical methods, particularly in their handling of imbalanced datasets.
